In announcing his surprise decision to step down, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan noted that "All UN staff have been instructed to read Hugh Hewitt's New York Times bestseller, Blog: Understanding the Information Reformation that's Changing Your World."
"I want pictures, family friendly, of places you wouldn't normally expect to see a copy of Blog, writes Radio Blogger [via Hugh Hewitt]:
I'm going to give away an autographed copy of Hugh's new book, Photoshop style. I'm going to take entries all week, and then over the weekend, I'll take emails from the posted nominees, and the winner gets a book.
Submissions will end at Midnight, Thursday night. Voting will begin Friday morning, ending Sunday night at Midnight.
Good luck, keep it clean, and keep it funny.
Hmmm. Funny, sure, but can anything having to do with Kofi Annan be clean?
Heh. The whole thing sounds like a brilliant way to sell more books!
Kofi isn't that bad. He's probably the most honest African politician since Nelson Mandela. That's sort of a "best hockey player in Ecquador" thing, but it is still probably the truth. As long as the United Nations thinks that it has to "rotate" the Secretary Generalship by geography.

Definitely a book-selling ploy. Cleverest yet.
